Global invasion threat for the 21st century. Airport and seaport capacity, as well as animal, plant, and total imports between 2000 and 2009, is combined into global introduction risk. Projected biome shifts and increase in agricultural intensity and fire frequency between 2000 and 2100 (emissions scenario A2) are combined into global establishment threat. Introduction and establishment axes are combined into overall invasion threat. Reprinted from ref. .
